Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The regularly widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
